摘要: The functionality available on modern ‘smartphone’ mobile devices, along with application software and access to the web, have opened up a wide range of ways for volunteers participate in environmental biodiversity research by contributing wildlife observations, geospatial information, other context-specific time-bound data. This has brought about an increasing number phone based citizen science projects that are designed these device features (such as camera, microphone, GPS location data), well reach different user groups, over project durations, aims goals. In this chapter we outline key considerations when designing developing applications science, regard (1) Interoperability. factors influence usability covered both (2) Participant Centred Design Agile Development, (3) User Interface Experience Design. Finally, sustained engagement (4) Motivational Factors Participation.
